Hello everyone I need information there is a C-bus to Modbus converter? thanks for every answer
Clipsal Wiser for C-Bus Automation Controller (5500SHAC) has RTU and TCP modbus capabilities but AFAIK there is no direct C-Bus to Modbus converter.
Depending on what you need to do and how complicated it is there is no reason you could not do it in the logic engine - if you are only writing say a few coils or registers you could hard code them into the logic
I MICK this is the problem i have a modbus master I have to be able to read but above all write some registers belonging to devices that communicate in c-bus but this is the point the idea is to be able to directly manage the c-bus controller on a modbus network ie master modbus -converter - c-bus controller - devices there is a converter capable of doing so
I don't think there is something that can do it directly between Cbus and Modbus. However, Cytech just released a UCM/Modbus to interface with their alarm system. If you have a UCM/Cbus then there might be a way to use it between Cbus and Modbus with certain limitations. The UCM/Modbus only works with signed integers so anything larger would require clever programming or won't work at all.
HI INGO I understand that there is no conversion in a single solution but it's possible to a c-bus converter to bacnet and then bacnet to modbus converter you know c-bus converters to backnet thanks for every reply
SHAC does this stuff via it’s built in process, it’s not particularly tough, my client is an A/C engineer he did that bit and I built his cbus setup.
If u buy the online training course it’s $650 which is a lot cheaper than wholesale has been of late.
looking for better integration with my plc and other modbus devices (coolmaster and ignition Scada) where do I sign up for the training. My PC interface died so I need a new one and a SHAC would be an excellent replacement
